Blaze of Gory (In production).

Blaze of Gory is a new horror anthology that hopes to be completed
around October. The project fell into horror filmmaker and executive
producer of the anthology David V G Davies' lap last summer when he was
presented with a short story written by a twelve year old girl when he
was looking for short stories for a horror blog he was hoping to start.
The story he received was so advanced and creepy that he insisted to
both the writer and her parent that the story has to be made into a
movie.

The writer gave him some more stories, and in no
time at all David had turned them into nine great screenplays. The
writer loved the idea of having her worked turned into movies, and gave
the green light to find nine different directors to tackle the stories.

Each
of the stories is horrific in every way possible. From the outset,
David knew that the stories were definitely going to create a huge
problem when it came to censorship, but he is determined and knows this
project has to be made.

In January, David V G Davies
directed the first story that captured his interest. He flew his cast
and crew out to a remote cabin in Norway where they shot for two days,
and it was a great experience. Currently, out of the nine stories, four
are being edited, with three currently in production all over the UK,
and one being filmed in New York.

The final movie will
run for around two hours as both David and the writer have linked each
story with a wraparound story. They also intend to release some of the
shorts separately as trailers of the full project. The cast and crew are
very talented, and this movie is definitely going to be something to
look out for, especially as they have the unique selling point of the
stories being written by such a young talent.

I for one
am incredibly interested in seeing what the writer and cast and crew
can come up with. This is certainly one to watch out for. I will be sure
to keep you all updated.

Many thanks to David V G Davies for the information on this exciting project!!
